One of the most important scientists of the past 50 years is a man that no one has heard of - Adam Trombly. He was a pioneering physicist and engineer who followed in the footsteps of Nikola Tesla and designed a successful "over-unity", "zero point energy" power generation device. If this technology would have been allowed to be released to the public, the entire global economy would have been rad...
